They signed him before Russell was playing all star lvl.
Rumors say they want to trade him for future assets, so they clear extra cap, so they can resign Russell and atract another star.

Nets don't have to trade him to resign DLo. Just have to resign tge star before resigning DLo. Unless the issue is DLo's cap hold is preventing the Nets from having a max salary slot.

Kings are all over that first part. But not sure how they pull that off because the Nets will not know if Crabbe is opting in or out for the 2019-20 season on draft day. Most likely he is, but are tge Nets willing to be stuck with the Kings draft selection if Crabbe opts out?

Do you guys think Portland could have beaten Goldenstate if they could have kept LM Aldridge?

I think they would have made the conference finals had Matthews never torn his Achilles. But I think they would have lost to GS that year. It would have been a good matchup of two fairly inexperienced teams though.

If they had resigned Aldridge and eliminated Turner and Leonard's deals, I think they're in the pack with Houston and GS last year, but again, I think it's a 7 game series again Houston to move on to lose to GS in the WCF.

And this year, with Lillard, McCollum, Layman/ Hood, Aldridge, and Nurkic starting, that's a really good team. Is it better than GS? No. Is it equal to the other elites of the NBA? Yeah, probably.

Should LA be fined for tampering Ben Simmons? It's not the first time Magic did this.

Or should big market teams be allowed to do this?

I’m no fan of big market teams, but who cares? It happens all the time and it’s almost impossible to police. Instead of making a show out of fining teams and gms for stupid stuff just drop the rules. You don’t think agents with star clients aren’t constantly in contact with gms? Or that players don’t talk to each other about teaming up?

From everything I've seen, the Simmons and Magic stuff was about a young guy talking to a Hall of Famer. It didn't have anything to do with recruiting him. Obviously that could all be lies, but from the reports, it sounded innocent enough.

I think the real issue lies with the agent. Simmons has the same agent as Lebron and Anthony Davis. GMs should be concerned that the agent is manipulating things for his "main" client Lebron James.

I don't think any team is offering Vucevic a max offer. Cousins (who is better) may be the only big to be offered a max deal. Remember Clint Capella only got $15 mil per last off season.

He's too good to not keep improving. He'll never be an elite shooter, but he will improve. Rondo, Rubio, and Kidd are all examples to look back on.

Sacramento has young talent and cap space. That said, they're a bad destination. It's very unlikely, but could happen.

I wouldn't give up on Fultz yet. He's got talent. Put him somewhere with no expectations (Orlando) and he could definitely become a solid starter.

Anyone can become a flop. Anyone. Not just injuries, but maybe he's dominating lesser physical talent. It wouldn't be shocking if he topped out at Aaron Gordon. (not saying I expect him to be a bust, I don't)

Gasupo,
This is part of " the process". Acquiring assets to trade for needed quality players. Collecting picks and hoping they all turn out to be good players is certainly not " the process".

The only pick of value in there is really the heat 1st. The others are nothing much. The players are all rotational players. And the sixers have a top 3 starting lineup. They are legit championship contenders. If you are going to knock them for the move, we’ll, you’re just being salty. Brand did some wonders this season. Very impressed.

People say, the 1984 draft was the best ever. I think they would win against the 1996 and 2003 class. So i was wondering who would win a game between the 1984 class and a all time great team.
